Intro

Our community is preparing for the release of LibreOffice 5.0.0 (previously denominated 4.5). We've added many new features and fixed loads of bugs (see below...), and we want to make sure that the new version is well tested. You can help to make this release a great one! Be aware however that the translation for this version may not be over and is not yet integrated.

On the 19th, 20th and 21st of June we will have an international bug-hunting session, testing the first RC of LibreOffice 5.0.0. Please join us! :-)

The contents of the repository should be self-documented (including how to build, etc. If they aren't, then that's a bug (per Bjoern))

Any updates/fixes to the documentation and examples should go into the git repo. Per Bjoern, "the stuff should work for someone without IRC, so whatever is missing should be in the repository READMEs, not in some IRC log"

Found a bug?

At first, make sure it isn't already reported by searching in our bug database. If it isn't reported yet, you can add it to our bug database using our BSA, which is a simple layout to report bugs. If you are more confident with Bugzilla, you can report your bug using the Bugzilla interface. When you want to discuss first, use chat or mail, fast and direct.
